'02138' Is Sort Of Desperate For Interns
If you're a "confident, witty writer and hard-nosed researcher" who hasn't yet firmed up your summer unpaid career advancement plans, take heart! "One part-time editorial internship is still available this summer at 02138, the new independent magazine for Harvard alumni," per their ad on Craigslist. But lest you think it'll be all confident, witty fluff pieces (like, say, profiling alumni-on-alumna Loves), 02138 wants to make sure you're aware that "while the magazine does not shy away from gossip and guilty pleasures, the heart of 02138 is stringently executed investigative journalism." Like the Spring issue's piece on the Harvard Hubris Hall of Fame, which details alumni downfalls (remember that Kaayva thing?) The full ad follows, in case your nose is feeling hard (up) enough to consider applying.
